Mattapoisett Land Trust is introducing the “Hike50 Challenge” in celebration of their 50th anniversary this year. From May 1 through August 31 of this year, MLT challenges you to hit the trails in the Tri-Town and log 50 miles of hiking.
This Hike50 Challenge is a fun incentive for folks to explore trails and get outdoors in Mattapoisett, Marion, and Rochester. Participants are encouraged to log miles on trails managed by Mattapoisett Land Trust, Rochester Land Trust, Sippican Lands Trust, and the Buzzards Bay Coalition within the Tri-Town community. Those who log 50 miles by August 31 will receive a special edition MLT 50th anniversary baseball hat, 50th anniversary stickers, and a complimentary 1-year membership with MLT.
Go online to mattlandtrust.org/about/50th-anniversary to read the rules of the challenge and to print out your own mileage tracker. Mattapoisett Land Trust will host a kick-off hike soon as a way to jump start your mileage, so keep an eye on their events calendar. What better way to celebrate MLT’s 50th anniversary than exploring the ecosystems they have conserved.
